Summary
"Tourism Studies and the Social Sciences is based upon a multi-disciplinary social science approach to understand the significance and role of tourism in contemporary society. It introduces social science disciplines to the reader and applies relevant theories to the understanding of tourism. Although each chapter addresses a particular social science discipline, the book includes extensive cross-referencing between the chapters to highlight the multidisciplinary nature of tourism research. A key theme of the book is how the economic and political structures of society influence the manifestation of tourism at a global level."--Jacket.
